Q: Adding iCloud account to Outlook - what is the right password?
I have an ****@iCloud.com email address.
My Apple ID is a ****@gmail.com email address.
Adding my iCloud email account to my iOS devices or accessing it on a browser is a piece of cake. I log in using my Apple ID and its associated password.
But I have been absolutely stymied in all attempts to add this email to Outlook.
When, during set up, it asks for the password for the ****@iCloud.com email account, what am I supposed to enter?
I tried the password for my AppleID. It isn't recognized.
I tried going online and managing my Apple ID and set up an app specific password for Outlook (accepting the 16 character password suggested) and used that in Outlook add an account. It isn't recognized.
iPhone 6, iOS 9.0.2
